The Bible tells us that "God is Love" (1 John 4:8)God is Love, and His love is very different from human love. God's love is unconditional, and it's not based on feelings or emotions. He doesn't love us because we're lovable or because we make Him feel good; He loves us because He is love. He created us to have a loving relationship with Him, and He sacrificed His own Son (who also willingly died for us) to restore that relationship. John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
Romans 5:8, "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." (John 13:34-35)
LOVE GOD AND YOUR NEIGHBOURS(THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT)
The LORD our GOD is one LORD; and you shall love the LORD your GOD with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.' "The second is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these." (Mark 12:28-31)
LOVE YOUR ENEMIES
Love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you and who hate you ! In that way you will be acting as true sons of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust too. If you love only those who love you, what good is that? Even scoundrels do that much. If you are friendly only to your friends, how are you different from anyone else? Even the heathen do that. But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect. (TLB, Matthew 5:43-48)
Philipians 2v2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, [being] of one accord, of one mind.3[Let] nothing [be done] through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.4Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.5Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:13For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of [his] good pleasure.14Do all things without murmurings and disputings:15That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;16Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
"For if you forgive men for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. "But if you do not forgive men, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions. (Matthew 6:14-15)
Anger consumes with hatred and block out the love of God and it depreciates wisdom ,it increases folly. Whether between parent and child, spouses, friends, or nations, expressions of anger divides and drives toward open hostility. More often than not, angry feelings are based on a misinterpretation of what someone said or did. A grudge clouds negative judgment in the heart of Men and it is from the pit of hell.
Jesus said to forgive and forget. We should always be willing to forgive others, even if our thought is clouded with misinterpretation or clouded heart we need to fulfil the scriptures even when they don't ask for forgiveness. Holding a grudge have no place in the lives of those who truly love their neighbors. Jesus calls us to remember that we are all God's children. Just as He loves all His people and is willing to forgive their sins, we should be willing to forgive also. GOD does not hold to His children past if they repent because He is Love so therefore since we are Christ Image we should give Love and pray for one another also pray for sinners in your neighbourhood for them to repent and inherit the Kingdom of GOD.It is not the pleasure of GOD for anyone to perish but to inherit the Kingdom of GOD.Amen.
Prayer :We thank you our heavenly Father for your Love to us your children.Amen.
Yours in Christ,
